Remarks. The subspecies is characteristically different from other subspecies in having three pairs of spermathecal pores in 5/6/7/8, first dorsal pore in 5/6 and the presence of genital markings in spermathecal and male regions (Thai & Tran 1986). Material was re-examined and absence of male copulatory pouches and hence placement of the species in Amynthas is confirmed here.
